Boarders

 For school holidays we are remarkably unfull of boarders this week. But a pair of cats who were "adopted from us 2-3 years ago" came in this afternoon. . . . Calli and Lexi. I can't remember them but they may have put on a little weight. And they are not happy, Jan.

Calli and Lexi

Over the weekend all the "desirable" kittens were adopted. We even had another call to adopt Souffle today!

And a man came to meet Valentina. She played "I want to be alone" as usual. So I introduced him to the other available cats who have been with us for a while. He really liked Darcy. He will be back on Friday morning when he has set up his apartment to adopt one, or the other.

And a nice teacher came in with her mother to adopt Astrid. She knew all about her dodgy patella and is fine with it. She will bring Astrid in next Thursday because her vaccination is due and there wasn't anybody around who is trained to give injections.

One of the vollies is doing Animal Heath at Tech and had to give a cat a "physical". Not so easy choosing a suitable cat for that! But we settled on Velvet who tolerated being prodded and handled. Vovo was a bit jealous of the attention that she got. It was definitely a two person examination!

Sue spent the afternoon giving Calli's four kittens a bath. . . separately. And thoroughly scrubbing their condo. They are probably ringworm free now. But don't look very happy about it.

They have names: Jasper (ginger), Lapis (black tabby), Coral (white tabby) and Jade (orange).

There are plenty of pretty kittens in Incoming: photographed by Joy.

And two from the stand alone:

Billy adopted

 He went over the weekend. Don't know who was the brave soul. It must have taken an effort to get him into a cat carrier. I really hope he will live happily ever after in his new home.

And today Tweed was adopted. He was not put as bonded to Roy and a lady came in wanting a young cat to bond with her Burmese who is mourning the loss of the older cat who has recently died of a sudden disease. The Burmese is bereft. There is another cat in the family who just lives outside but the Burmese shouldn't go out. So . . . . get another kitten!

Astrid was needy today. I think she was cold. Being cuddled in Sue's warm scarf pleased her.

The "pregnant" mums in Incoming haven't dropped any kittens. Chicken eats everything she is given.

What fun we will have finding names for her kittens.

And Goosy (the second ?pregnant cat who arrived last week without a name so I named her Goosy to keep Chicken company. . . . and give us more fun making up names). .  she looks a bit less flu-filled.

There are two kittens in Incoming. Where from?

And a lovely cat called Faith. I will try to get details on Friday.

Repeat adopters

 I thought I had done something wrong during Pirate Pete's adoption because he wasn't taken off the "Available for Adoption" list on Safe's webpages. But he is back. After all the telephone calls and time taken to think about it on Friday, his partner rejected Pirate Pete and he was back on Saturday! He doesn't seem upset by his outing. We might have adopted him this afternoon to a mother and son who adopted from us four years ago. That cat is no more (I didn't get that part of the story) so they came back to us. They might be interested in Aslan. Or LeClerc because he is in the same position as their previous cat was. Or Pirate Pete because he is . . . perfect.

LeClerc is ready to GO

There is a new cat in Lola's* old stand alone. Her name is Astrid and she is black except for the white bow on her collar.

I heard a strange ticking noise coming from Incoming this afternoon. Lola was sitting on the keyboard of the desktop computer. It was nice and warm. I closed the lid and she sat on that and the ticking stopped. 

And a new cat in Pikachu's condo called Jimmy. He has a wound on his throat. His paperwork was supposed to be in Irene's letterbox when I drove by this morning. But I was too early.

Jimmy

I moved Pikachu's triangular scratchy into Choc and Chip's condo (after cleaning it), They keep chewing off bits of the box that has been with them for a month. Perhaps they will like this one better.

Romeo is doing very well. He came when I called his name!
